Antivirus is exactly that, an antivirus programme that stops virus infections. Malware will bypass the antirirus and lurke in your system and can and will, if not checked, harm your system.
I equate it to the human body. Virus infection, take medication to heal it.
Malware needs a surgical proceedure to get rid of it.

But lets not panic here, your system may well be fine and many run well with malware inside them bit it IS best not to have them at all.

In essence go back to my link, download malwarebytes, install it and run a complete scan. If nothing is found then excellent, if it finds some nasties it will deal with them for you.

If your computer was really playing up I would advise a reboot in safe mode with networking and install and run malwarebytes in safe mode. Malware is sneaky and can hide within system files even when you PC is running fine.

If you need any more help either PM me or post it here, and let me know how you get on

Not to my knowledge. Next time you open the programme it will tell you the database is out of date and ask if you wish to update it. Simply update and install then run it

Simples!!
